| Sumario: | The transition to adulthood is a phenomenon that has attracted global attention, especially due to the increasing postponement of the milestones that mark the beginning of adulthood. This phenomenon also calls for clinical psychology in whose formation a separation between the child-adolescent and the adult is frequent, leaving the group in question in a complex position. To think about the transition to adulthood, the concept of subjectivation inspired by Foucault's late work was taken, which gives rise not only to the processes of subjection but also to the possibilities of emancipation of the subjects. Then a dialogue was proposed between the Foucauldian proposal and psychoanalytic concepts to understand the psychic variables of the social phenomenon that has attracted attention. Using a qualitative methodology, four young Chilean professionals were interviewed in order to analyze the subjectivation processes associated with the transition to adulthood. Some of the most striking results were the relevance of saving in their daily practices, not only in an economic-monetary sense, but also in a psychic economy. That would be one of the modes of subjection that most hooks on the possibility of emancipation, as well as the difficulties imposed by separation from the parental generation. The research also reports other learnings: at a methodological level, such as the possibilities, care and limitations that the application of concepts from the psychoanalytic clinic entail for the analysis of the social; and at the empirical level, the importance of involving the parental generation when studying the transition to adulthood. |
